You as a small business owner have a lot on your mind every day.
Another group of people that have a lot on their minds are company CEOs and executives. In many cases thousands of people’s livelihoods and that of their families hang off the decisions they make that might not see the light of day for months down the track.
Together, you the small business owner and company or organisation CEO/Executives etc are definitely ‘leaders’.
Our guest today is Tarran Deane (Corporate Cinderella) who has been in both camps and now works with leaders to help them overcome some of the struggles above so they can stay in the game longer.
Specifically we get into the details of marketing and social media that Tarran has learnt along the way and how she is implementing those in her own small business.
Its worth looking at Tarran’s company website to see the online marketing elements used there – video, social media, email, images, blogging, wordpress, remarketing. You can also download Tarran’s book ‘Just What Do You Stand For’ from the site.
Tarran and I are also joined by a past guest on the Redcliffe Marketing Show – Michael Hanson. Michael is a Gold Coast based film director and business story teller working under the cover of michaelhanson.tv
